1.  One of the most common grammar mistakes happens around contractions, the combining of two words into one, such as "It’s vs. Its" or "They’re vs. Their vs. There."

2.  Use of "Less or fewer?"  I have less milk than my brother.  (Because you can’t count “milk”).  I have fewer glasses of milk than my brother. (Because you can count “glasses of milk”).

3.  Sally and me? Or Sally and I?  Confusion about when to use “me” and “I” is one of the most common grammar mistakes.

Grammar mistakes can be found in all language items. From singular/plural nouns to tenses to prepositions to word order to parts of speech.  

In order to avoid such mistakes, teachers must tackle the core of the problem in language acquisition. To understand grammar fully, learners need to be exposed to a lot of language while reading/listening, notice specific items when they are used (i.e. in stories, in conversations), study the meaning/form/use of the item, make sure to work on drills, and engage in controlled and freer practice in different contextual environments.
